SPEWlNG-BOX FOR U CHRISTIANIA, NORIVAY.

SE ON BOARD SHIPS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 445,086, dated January20, 1891.

Serial No. 350,918. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HEINRICH SOHELLER, a subject of the King of Norway,and a resident of Christiania, Norway, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Spewing-Boxes for Use on Board Ships, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention has for its object to provide a novel, simple,convenient, and efficientspewing-box for use on board of Steamships andother sea-going vessels, which can be readily suspended from the edge ofa ships berth or other support, and is so constructed as to renderitsusceptible of being emptied or cleaned with little inconvenience.

To accomplish this object, my invention involves the features ofconstruction and the combination or arrangement of parts hereinafterdescribed and claimed, reference being made to the accompanyingdrawings, in whichi Figure l is a side elevation of a spewingboxembodying my invention with the parts in position for use. Fig. 2 is atop plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a side elevation showing the uppersection of the spewing-box turned on its hinged connection. Fig. 4: is atop plan view of the same. Fig. 5 is a side elevation showing amodification of the connection between the upper and lowersections ofthe spewing-box. Fig. 6 is a detail plan view of the lower section; andFig. 7 is a sectional view taken on the line so 1 Fig. 5.

In order to enable those skilled in the art to make and use myinvention, I will now describe the same in detail, referring to theaccompanying drawings, wherein- The letter A indicates the upper movablesection, and B the base-section, of the spewing-box. The base section isformed as a cup shaped vessel having at its top portion avertically-projecting neck (2, while the upper movable section iscomposed of a funnel shaped body comprising a contracted tubular neck a,terminating at its lower portion in a flaring or conical-shapedbase-plate or collar 0, which in the construction exhibited by Figs. 1to i, inclusive, is hinged or pivoted to the upper edge of the neck 6,provided on the cup-shaped vessel 13, in such manner that thefunnel-shaped upper section or receiving portion of the spewing-box canbe turned on its hinged connection to the position exhibited by Fig. 3for the purpose of emptying or cleaning the cup-shaped base-section 13,while if the fun nel-shaped upper section or receiving portion beclosed, as in Fig. 1, it can be locked in its closed position by aspring-catch f, riveted or otherwise attached to the cup-shapedbase-section I to engage the flaring or conical base-plate c of theupper section. In this construction the upper and lower sections A and Bof the spe win g-box are hin ged together b ut, as shown in Fig. 5, theupper and lower sections may be flexibly connected by a chain anddetachably interlocked with each other by hooks f on the lower section13 engaging projections on the base portion d of the flaring or conicalbase portion a, formed on the contracted neck a. of the upper section A.

The movable upper section of the spewingboX is provided at one side withan overhanging hooked arm K, which is adapted to be hooked on the edgeof a ships berth or any other suitable support for the purpose of sus-'pending the spewing-box when in use. The side of the upper movablesection which is opposite the overhanging hooked arm K is provided witha properly-shaped curved plate h, riveted or otherwise secured at itsends and forming a handle by which to manipulate or carry thespewing-box when required.

The movable upper section-of the spewingbox enables the parts to beconveniently emptied and cleaned, and, in connection with theoverhanging hooked arm K and the handle portion 72,.provides a novel,simple, desirable, and efiicient spewing-box particularly designed forsea-going vessels.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is A spewing-boxconsisting of a cup-shaped HEINRICH SOHELLER.
